Featured reviews
The story itself feels so real because the characters are down to earth and the situations are just like in real life, with ups and downs.
The conversations between friends bring a lot of joy and help to build up the love story of the main characters.
Eveything just fits right in terms of storytelling. There is great character development, and life-like drama, mixed with memorable comedic situations.
The animation and cinematography help a lot to convey a color style that gets you immersive even more in the story.
Life can be an entergalactic experience!
The movie is creative and gives some tonic vibes.
It's refreshing to see this movie and it is nice to see something that doesn't alike any movie that on the big screen.
The characters are relatable and easy to identify with.
The soundtracks and the songs on the movie are really good and gives cool vibes.
Although the animation and the shots were unique It wasn't the case for the plot.
It was kind of usual classic love story. The plots twist were predictable and on the first half of the movie you could see where it's going to.
And even though it was a cliche it didn't catch me in my feelings and I didn't fluster so much even from the emotional scenes.
Thank you for your reading. See ya.
This Netflix special is a visual companion to Cudi's recent album (which I am unfamiliar with). The album is classified as a concept album, so it's only fair to describe this film a "concept movie." It tells simple stories using simple words, but there are emotions beneath the surface. Cudi voices Jabari, a street artist who just got a huge apartment in Manhattan. I assume Jabari is some sort of a fictionalized version of Cudi himself (personality-wise anyway). The story involves his relationship with his next door neighbor (Jessica Williams), a photographer. The similarity here is that they are both artistic people, which is only fitting since the movie has great artistic value. I fell in love with the bright and unique color scheme-rarely has Manhattan been illustrated more beautifully. And do I need to tell you that it has a killer soundtrack?
There are side characters, even some cameos. The voice work is greatly done, and I think the reason it works that well is that the characters resemble their voice actors. Many scenes here are just people hanging out and chilling, having conversations you would have with a good friend. To my surprise, they bring me comfort, instead of boredom. I guess it's because the flow is balanced well enough. This movie and Richard Linklater's Apollo 10 ½ have similarity in tones and how scenes play out. I love them both. They're great comfort movies. It's sad that neither gets enough attention.

- TriviaThis was going to be a television series on Netflix but became a television special instead. Not only that, but Kid Cudi was intended on making it a live-action anthology series centering on the theme of love with one piece of animation, but Kenya Barris convinced him to make it completely animated.

Downtown Pat: Love is a motherfucker, boys. It'll find us all. It'll hurt us all. But goddamn it, it's the only thing that'll save us all. If you got it, hold on to it.
